People are at the heart of this volume - people who on a small scale design produce and sell goods and make a living from it. These people include creative tradesmen artisans designer-makers and a new delevoping group of self-made entrepreneurs who with many different educational backgrounds combine creative work with technology and production to develop unique and economically viable ways of living and working. Through visual representations of the products workplaces and people and through text based on interviews the works of the selected craftspeople are presented as manifestations of highly original creative processes.
